I am firmly of the opinion that we have to start taking this matter into our own hands, and pushing back.

So you're ok with making extra work for the manager of a store? Based on "I don't wanna have to wear a mask, and I shouldn't have to"? I honestly don't understand the huge fuss some people are making about wearing a mask. For me personally, wearing a mask has been the least bad thing related to the pandemic. Many, many other things have been worse. And I've been very fortunate, so those other things don't even include

-getting covid
-getting seriously ill from covid
-dying from covid
-losing my job
-losing my home

But here people are, acting as though unnecessary mask-wearing were the worst thing that ever happened to any person in the history of the world.

I'll happily stop wearing a mask outdoors, but I'm not going to make life one iota harder for some retail clerk or grocery store employee. Wearing masks indoors is like the least difficult thing ever., and pretty much everything can be open. People are such children.

I'd imagine that they changed the rule again because putting the burden of deciding whether or not someone needs to wear a mask on frontline workers is a PITA, and might lead to unpleasant and even violent confrontations. It's MUCH easier for businesses to have a mandate that they can point to.

It called being selfish and self-centered. Lets say. 25% of this country could never be called part of the Greatest Generation.

The Greatest Generation were a bunch of racist a-holes and they spawned the only generation worse than they were. Would never want to be associated with them in any way.

Great idea. I am not stopping at traffic lights any more if I think it is safe to continue. Taking matters into my own hands!

Big difference. I, as a fully vaccinated person, am not a danger to others. This is based on science, not what "I think."

Anonymous wrote:How many shops will really stop requiring masks? I am sure very few will actually have staff checking vaccine cards (which can literally be printed off the web) I would have lots of concerns for my staff. Personally I would not be going in to shops that do not require them at this time but it will be owners gambles as to which option will get them more business.

I already turn left on red arrows if no one is coming, but the above is taking it too far.

Someday the Neanderthals will come around.

Because the science proves quite clearly that 5-10% of vaccinated people will STILL get covid, experience some degree of illness, and be infectious to everyone around them.

That is why masking is not going away. Ever. Period.

It has pretty much gone away where I live. But, I live nowhere near DC.
You people are nuts.
Sad that you have to rely on your mayor to outline your freedoms.

PP, they ARE nuts. This area is crazy! I’m actually considering leaving my husband (kids are grown) because he won’t leave.
